Fire Emblem is a tactical role-playing game series developed by Intelligent Systems and published by Nintendo. Gameplay revolves around tactical movement of characters across grid-based environments, while incorporating elements from traditional RPGs. A noted aspect is the permanent death of characters in battle, removing them from the rest of the game should they be defeated. The Fire Emblems themselves are often royally treasured weapons or shields, representing the power of war and dragons. Notable characters from games in the series include Marth, Ike, Lucina, Roy, and Corrin, all of whom are present in Super Smash Bros.
